Preparation and Adsorption Properties of Sulfur-Nitrogen Co-Doped Activated Carbon

Abstract

Chromium is one of the heavy metal pollutants. Heavy metal chromium-contaminated water will seriously endanger human health after use. There are many ways to remove chromium-containing sewage, and the adsorption method is the most effective and convenient method. The adsorption amount of traditional activated carbon is limited, so it needs to be modified to improve the adsorption rate. This experiment determined a reasonable modification method, and the calcination method was selected for the modification. This paper mainly compares the surface morphological characteristics of activated carbon before and after modification. The modified X-ray diffraction peak is increased and the infrared ray absorption peak increased, and the results show that the surface of the modified activated carbon is more rough than that of the modified activated carbon, the functional groups are increased, and the sulfur and nitrogen are doped on the activated carbon. Therefore, the modified activated carbon has a high removal rate and the best performance under acidic conditions.
